<p>Hi, I'm testing in 6 International Baccalaureate classes in total. I took 2 SLs last year and I'm taking 3 HL and 1 SL this year. This would be enough tests to get the full diploma, but you also have to write the Extended Essay + CAS hours for the full diploma. The only thing I am NOT doing is the Extended Essay, and I am fine with not receiving the diploma after graduation, but I was wondering how colleges would see this?
The University of San Francisco say that if you satisfactorily complete the program you are virtually guaranteed acceptance and if you pass on 3 HL tests you are considered a sophomore. Does anyone know if they will not consider me as completing the program because I am not doing the extended essay? + how would they know?</p>
<p>They would not consider you as completing the program. On the School Report your counselor fills out for your application she would say that you are not a full IB diploma candidate because you didn’t do the EE.</p>
<p>I am an IB student, and my counselor went over all of this with my class.</p>
<p>You arent completing the program without an EE or a TOK.
In IB, the EE and TOK makes up 3 of the 45 marks and without either one, you cannot pass</p>
<p>You cant* complete the program</p>
<p>does not count as completing the program*</p>
